His lawyers can try to split hairs about “facilitate” vs. “effectuate” but saying he will never come back to the US after being ordered to try to get him back to the US seems like the most obvious violation possible of a 9 - 0 supreme court decision. If republicans were honest, trump could be removed from office by Saturday morning. What would there be to even investigate?
I don’t mean it as a gotcha. Clearly too many people don’t care about the rights and dignity of other people unless it affects them. I wish they did, but the current political climate makes it clear that they don’t.
So I think this is worth bringing up to people about any social justice issue. Racism and nativism are used to control white workers. Patriarchy hurts men. Transphobia hurts cisgender people.
However, it is crucial to communicate to people that these ideologies are fundamentally bad and need to be abolished or else people can walk away thinking “We need to implement transphobia the ‘right’ way so it stops hurting cis people.”
It bares repeating, transphobia hurts cisgender people and transgender people.
What’s in September?
Your jobs a joke, you’re broke, and now you are a bug!
As best as I can remember, I’m on my 6th.
I am still using a flip phone. My new goal is to make it to 2027 marking two decades of rejecting the smartphone era. Each time I consider compromising something gets even more awful about smartphones and I double down on saying no.
Don’t make me post the poem again…
This is good to hear but we need to do everything we can to make each attempted deportation difficult. It’s a shame that I don’t know any undocumented immigrants to protect, and neither do you.
What do you mean? These people who have been wasting their lives idly maintaining crucial government systems will now finally be spurred into action in the private sector! They’ll be better for it and we’ll be better for it. Most of them will probably become entrepreneurs that will collectively create hundreds of thousands of high quality jobs! Then you’ll get a job for sure! A great job! As long as we remove all workplace protections, safety regulations, collective bargaining, wokeness, and keep the minimum wage at the same level as 2009, then businesses will finally have the freedom to give you the great pay and working conditions that they actually have been yearning to give employees this whole time! You just have to believe in the market. Have faith!
I’m glad Mexico and Canada are a united front on this, but I wish other potential targets would join in to hit the US economy hard and fast. The US can bully one or two countries at a time and probably has the economic momentum to come out on top. So this month it’s Canada and Mexico but next month it’ll be Denmark or Panama. But, if the EU, China, Mexico, Panama, Canada all implemented targeted tariffs within a week, the US would be forced to back down.
Wherever you are if you’re a consumer outside of the US, I’d say give the US the BDS treatment right now.
I agree, arrest the cop too.
Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I’d rather Dansup wasn’t becoming the darling of the fediverse.
I like to ask people who want to be tough on immigration, if you were arrested right now and accused of not being a citizen could you prove that you are?
Address, Drivers License, SSN? Non citizens can have all of those. A passport should work if you have one, but if you don’t have it on you, you might be detained for a long time before you can get it and prove your citizenship.
Now, under the EO even having your birth certificate won’t cut it. You’d need to prove one of your parents was a citizen. So what? We’re all going to walk around with a family tree of birth certificates?
The heritage foundation has an argument prepared for the inevitable supreme court case. I think it’s shit, even for them, but SCOTUS seems like they’ll go along with anything.
Their argument hinges on the phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction there of” claiming that this somehow excludes non-citizens. Accepting this argument would have the weird implication of saying that non-citizens in the US are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. So… how do other laws apply to them? How could they be charged with working or entering the US illegally?
Great point. If you know anyone in relevant fields, talk to them. Much of this will need to be done by word of mouth because you know the algorithms on the big sites are not going to like this.
We need to make detentions and deportations difficult. For a group and keep your eyes peeled. Report any activity that you see by CBP in your area. Be a nuisance. Film them. Shout at them. Drive slow in front of their vehicles. If you can, do more that I won’t say online.
What is WIW?
Damn Joe, it’s a real shame there wasn’t anyone who could have stopped them.
This publicity will probably bring in more money for the internet archive than what was cut.
Still a dick move by musk, but I’m glad it’s not an existential threat to the project.
